To the ever increasing thousands of true sportsmen , 
summer visitors, and tourists who annually come among- 
us, and whom the State of Maine gladly welcomes within 
her borders, this Gazetteer and Pathfinder of the Hunting 
and Fishing Resorts of the State of Maine is respectfully 
dedicated by the author.

PREFACE. 

The Pathfinder and Gazetteer of the Fishing and Hunt- 
ing Resorts of the State of Maine, together with a Digest of 
the laws pertaining to Inland Fisheries and Game, which 
now appears for the first time, is intended to help the sports- 
man, tourist, and summer visitor to Maine in planning his 
vacation and disposing of his time to the best advantage, and 
thus to enable him the more thoroughh^ to enjoy and appre- 
ciate the section of this State he visits, and get the most 
possible enjoj'ment in the time he can spend in vacation, or 
on a fishing or hunting trip. 

Many publications have been issued from time to time ad- 
vertising some of the more prominent hunting and fishing 
resorts of the State of Maine, all of them no doubt good, but 
in each case only sections of the State are alluded to, and 
were issued by parties particularly interested in the particu- 
lar section advertised. 

This book deals with the entire State, and is authorita- 
tive, and it is believed that there will be found in every 
locality substantially what is herein stated, — I have not 
exaggerated in the least. Sportsmen with limited means, 
who cannot afford to stop at high priced hotels, will find 
herein where there are good fishing and hunting resorts, 
where the expenses can be kept within the means of a 
large class who cannot afford to patronize the highest priced 
hotels. 

The writer is L,. T. Carleton, Chairman of the Commis- 
sioners of Inland Fisheries and Game of the State of Maine. 

No one is better aware than the writer himself of the im- 
perfections almost inseparable from the first edition of a guide 
book. 

In the preparation of this book the writer has received 
most material aid from many old hunters, trappers, guides, 
sporting camp proprietors, railroad officials, hotel proprietors 
and the press of the State, and to these he particularly de- 
sires to express his acknowledgment. 

"Go, little book. God send thee good passage." 



THE STATE OF MAINE. 

"The vState of Maine is the easternmost portion of the 
United States of America, and lies between 43 degs. 6 min. 
and 47 degs. 27 min., 33 sec. N. Lrat. ; between 66 degs. 56 
min. 48 sec. and 71 degs. 6 min. 41 sec. W. I^on. The 45th 
parallel crosses the State within 30 miles of its geographical 
center. This position is almost precisely equidistant betwixt 
the equator and the pole. In consequence of this position 
the winds of Maine are variable, not constant like those of 
the tropics, nor periodical like those of the Indian peninsulas. 
They prevail during the year for a longer or shorter time 
from every quarter of the compass. The draft rarely pre- 
vails from any one compass point for more than two or three 
days successively, so that the various climatic phases attend- 
ant upon change of wind follow one another in rapid succes- 
sion. 

It further results from the geographic position of the 
State that rains in Maine are non-periodic. The mean eleva- 
tion of a country is one of the most difficult of its physical 
conditions to ascertain. After exploring all sources of infor- 
mation I have concluded that the figures 600 feet nearly ex- 
press the mean height of the State of Maine above the sea. 
The mean or average temperature of the State is 62 deg. 43 
min., while in the northern sections covered by forests it is 
considerably lower than this. 

Extent of Forest and Water Surfaces of Maine. 

The following table gives a tolerably close approximation : 

Area of the State 350oo SQ- miles. 

Approximate area of lakes, ponds and river surfaces.. 3,200 " " 

Total land surface 31,800 " " 

In farms 9,000 " " 

In the wilderness state, therefore 22,800 " " 



lO 

"The primeval woods of Maine cover an extent seven 
times that of the famous " Black Forest " of Germany at its 
largest expanse in modern times. The States of Rhode 
Island. Connecticut and Delaware could be lost together in 
our northern forests, and still have about each a margin of 
wilderness sufficiently wide to make its exploration without a 
registered guide a work of desperate adventure." 

There are 6000 streams represented upon the State map. 
These ramifying into innumerable branches thread the sur- 
face of the State by a fine net work of brooks, so that in all 
parts it seems alive and in motion with running waters, a dis- 
tinctive and characteristic feature, which strikes the attention 
of sportsmen; there are upward of iSoo lakes and ponds 
within the confines of the State, some of them being large, 
while all of them are beautifully situated, and very accessible, 
and in nearly all of them are found the square tailed trout, 
and in a large proportion of them the land-locked salmon, 
togue, black bass, white fish and white perch. 

Lake Sebago, in the southern part, near the city of 
Portland, the metropolis of Maine, is a magnificent sheet of 
water. In Kennebec county, Cobbosseecontee, Annabessa- 
cook and Maranocook comprise a system of lakes : the famous 
chain of Belgrade lakes and ponds, wonderful in resources, 
are the delight of thousands of sportsmen. Moosehead Lake, 
Maine's great inland sea, 40 miles in length, is known the 
country over, and the Rangeley lakes are dear to the hearts 
of fishermen in nearly every state in America. The AUegash, 
in Aroostook county, is one of the most beautiful rivers in 
Maine, passing through the very heart of a virgin forest. It 
winds its way through lakes and ponds for more than a hun- 
dred miles until it makes its junction with the St. John river, 
which penetrates a country of surpassing loveliness. Square 
Lake in the same county, and Grand Lake and the St. Croix 
waters, in Washington county, are famed for their beauty 
and attractiveness. 

When it is realized that the area of the lakes, ponds and 
rivers in Maine is more than two million acres, it must be ac- 
knowledged that the State offers exceptional advantages to 
the seeker after piscatorial sport. 



The Mountains and Valleys of Maine. 

The number of these, Uirge and small, is of course, in- 
definitely great. The loftiest single sununit in Maine is Mt. 
Katahdin, 53S5 feet above the level of the sea. The valleys 
partake of the plain rather than of the ravine character. 
They consist mainly of broad tracts of country. Their sur- 
face is variously broken and diversified by local elevations 
and depressions. 

General Observations. 

There is not in all our borders a dangerous animal, raven- 
ous reptile or poisonous insect. x\ person may camp under 
his blanket anywhere in perfect security and safety. 

The State of Maine has long enjoyed an unchallenged 
reputation as pre-eminently a land for the sportsman. From 
the New Hampshire line, where the Piscataqua River sepa- 
rates the two commonwealths, to the Canadian border on the 
north and west, it is undoubtedly true that there is more big 
game and good fishing to the square mile than in any other 
available state or country, for the huntsman and angler. 
Other states and other countries may offer inducements to the 
seeker after pleasure on land and water, but none in greater 
measure than this State. Hunting and fishing is free every- 
where in the State of Maine : that is, there is no license fee 
required to hunt or fish in open season. No part of America 
where game and fish abound is more easily reached, and 
there are few trips indeed where the expenditure can be kept 
within such reasonable bounds. Within easy and quick 
railway connection with Boston, New York and Montreal, the 
sportsman may alight in the center of the hunting and fish- 
ing regions, and in many instances at the very door of his 
camp or lodge. At all times during his stay he is within 
easy reach of the mail and telegraph lines, and so, while 
apart from the busy world, he may yet be in touch with it so 
far as occasion may require, or his inclination prompt him. 
The Bangor & Aroostook, the Washington County, the Port- 
land ^ Rumford P'alls, the Phillips & Rangeley, a portion 
of the Grand Trunk line, and the Maine Central Railroad run 
directly through the territory where as fine sport as there is 
in the State, is to be found. 

In the variety and plentitude of sport obtainable, at the 



12 

minimum of expense and trouble, Maine has no rival. Some 
sportsmen are not content to rough it, however richly they 
may be rewarded, but require all the accessories of civilization 
that can reasonably be obtained. Others regard the camp and 
inconveniences, and the complete change in mode of living as 
additional attractions in the search for and capture of their 
game. Either of these classes can find what they are in 
search of. The entire State of Maine is one intricate net- 
work of waterways, which not only form, amidst delightful 
scenery, the grandest canoe routes of the world, but give 
ready means of communication throughout the whole terri- 
tory. The most remote forests are accessible.. Railways lead 
to their very portals, where visitors, whether anglers, hunt- 
ers or tourists are able to arrange for guides and camp 
outfits, etc., at reasonable rates. It is possible, whatever the 
enthusiast's desires may be whether for the kingly moose, the 
deer, or smaller game, whether for the lordly salmon, the 
togue, or brook trout, to have them fully gratified in this 
great domain, whose labyrinths and waters afford the most 
glorious outings. 

That the forests of Maine are filled with moose, deer, 
birds, ruffed grouse, and other game ; and the lakes, ponds 
and streams teem with land-locked salmon, trout, togue, black 
bass and white perch, is a matter of common knowledge. 

A glance at the official records is sufficient to satisfy the 
most skeptical on this point. From returns from the 1800 
registered guides, (it takes this large number of skilled 
guides to accompany the sportsmen), there were 260 moose, 
9,000 deer, and 75 tons of fish taken by sportsmen whom the 
guides guided in the 3'ear 1898 ; and 230 moose, 14,000 deer, 
100 bears and 100 tons of fish taken in the 3-ear 1899. 

Startling as these figures appear, it is the sober truth, 
and we are assured from all reports that fish and game are on 
the increase, and it onh' needs the assiduous efforts of the 
sportsman to take the limit allowed by law. 

The legislatures of the past few years have wisely aided the 
fish and game commissioners in their efforts to preserve and 
increase the supply of fish and game in the State b}- liberal 
appropriations for that purpose. As a result of this far- 
sighted polic}', it can truthfully be said that there is no part 
of this great countrv where the fisherman and the hunter can 



13 
obtain so much enjoyment, and be more amply repaid for 
time and effort expended, than in the State of Maine. With- 
in its borders the devotees of the rod and gun may find in- 
finite pleasure during the fishing and hunting seasons. 

The State of Maine cordially invites true sportsmen to 
come to Maine to hunt and to fish, confident that they will be 
pleased with their trip and treatment, Poachers we don't 
want and have no room for.

I have not called particular attention, of small size and acces- 
sible, all filled with trout or land-locked salmon. 



19 

The elevations at the above named lakes and ponds will 
average about 1600 feet. The scenery and surroundings are 
grand . 

Hunting; Resorts. 

It may be said, generally, that this county is one vast 
deer park, and the sportsman can hardly fail to get his com- 
pliment of two deer in any town in the county, while it is a 
favorite hunting ground for moose. Generally, the hotels are 
good, homelike and comfortable, and registered guides can 
be procured in any town. 

Moose. 

There is no game animal so persistently sought after or 
hunted, or regarded as so grand a trophy when captured in 
the chase, as the Maine moose. No labor or expense is con- 
sidered too great, by many sportsmen, for their capture. It 
should be understood that it is no child's play to secure a 
moose. Many try, some succeed. The number of moose in 
the United States is not large, for the region they inhabit is 
comparatively very small. Within the borders of the State 
of Maine prol)al)ly stand more moose than can be found in all 
North America outside of its limits, in regions accessible 
to sportsmen and hunters. A great deal of the best breeding 
and feeding grounds are along the Canadian border, hun- 
dreds of miles in extent, while favorite hunting grounds are 
in the vicinity of lakes, logans, "dead waters," and their 
tributaries. 

No sportsman should undertake to hunt big game, at 
least, without a registered guide, on account of his safety and 
comfort. Guides are registered by the State, and are amena- 
ble to the State for their proper conduct while guiding. 

It may also be said that ruffed grouse, (partridge), are 
plentiful in all the county, also foxes and many bears, and 
some wild cats are annually taken by sportsmen. 

The limits of this volume could be easily exhausted with 
a truthful portrayal of the fishing and hunting resorts of this 
county alone, but I must condense. 

At any and all of the above named lakes and inlets of the 
satrie, good moose and deer hunting is to be had in open sea- 
son for this game. 

Sherman and Patten Junction, 104 miles from Bangor, 
first railroad station in this county on road to Houlton from 



20 

Bangor ; then Crystal six miles, Island Falls six miles, Dyer 
Brook six miles, Oakfield" nine miles, Ashland Junction, 
three miles, through an unbroken wilderness. Towns on the 
same line of railroad in Penobscot county, before reaching 
Sherman from Bangor, Schoodic 56 miles from Bangor, W. 
Seboeis two miles, Norcross nine miles, Twin Dam one mile, 
Millinockett seven miles. Grindstone six miles, Staceyville 
twelve miles. These are distances between stations. The 
hunting grounds are easily accessible from each of these 
stations.

St. John, and is the entrance to a long stretch of virgin for- 
est and incomparable, hunting grounds, through which runs 
the Bangor & Aroostook R. R., and is but 28 m. from Nor- 
cross, fully described elsewhere. At Milo Junct. on the B. 
& A. R. R., or at Newport Junct. on the M. C. R. R. to 
Bangor from Portland, change for Moosehead Lake and 
Greenville, a beautiful town on the shore of this lake, termi- 
nus of this branch of the B. & A. R. R. ; at Abbot, on the 
way to Greenville, good trout fishing may be found in the

ingly enjoyable, the scenery is grand beyond description ; 
from every quarter deep ravines and valleys and towering 
mountains meet the eye of the tourist. At Blanchard may be 
found several small ponds and many streams where excellent 
trout fishing may be had and first class deer hunting. 

At Greenville, terminus of this branch of the B. & A. R. 
R. also on C. P. Ry., from Montreal and St. John, the cele- 
brated Moosehead Lake is reached, one of the most famous 
fishing, summer, and hunting resorts in the world, 86 m. from 
Bangor, 223 m. from Portland, and 8 to 9 hours' ride from

48 

many large bays and beautiful islands. Half way up the lake, 
at the foot of Mt. Kineo, on a point of land extending into 
the lake, is situated the celebrated Kineo House. 

In all this g" re a f inlayid sea, all parts of which are reached 
by steamers, canoes or boats, first class trout and togue fish- 
ing can always be had ; many white fish and cusk are also 
taken ; it is also heavily stocked with land-locked salmon and 
many of these of large size are taken each year ; large and 
elegant steamers connect with the train at Greenville to all 
portions of this lake. From Greenville Wilson Pond, Hedge- 
hog, Trout, Upper, Rum, Horseshoe, Fitzgerald, and Squaw 
Ponds may be reached, famous for trout and some salmon 
fishing ; the country around these ponds is a favorite resort 
for deer and moose hunting, also for ruffed grouse. It is dif- 
ficult to describe adequately a body of water like Moosehead 
I,ake ; it is a great inland sea, the largest body of fresh water 
in all New England, a thousand feet above the level of the 
sea. The Kineo House and the sporting camps around this 
lake are really council houses ; here parties are made up, ex- 
peditions planned, campaigns organized, guides, supplies, and 
camping outfits secured ; here is the parting of the ways into 
a vast domain of fish and game ; here the salmon and trout 
anglers take steamers, boats, or canoes for fishing in this lake 
and to the lakes, ponds and rivers to the north. There is a 
veritable network of lakes and ponds big and small, also 
many brooks and rivers all teeming with brook trout from 
half a pound to the monster inhabitant of 5 to 8 lbs., all the 
long way from Kineo to Ft. Kent on St. John River, 150 
miles or thereabouts, through an unbroken wilderness and 
traversable by canoe. At Greenville is the celebrated store 
of D. T. Sanders and Son, where the sportsman or tourist 
may procure anything from a cambric needle to a rifle or from 
a handkerchief to a sleeping bag or anything else requisite to 
the tent, the trail, the chase or a fishing expedition. 

At Greenville Jet. are the general supply stores of A. A. 
Crafts and Jas. Bartley, where the sportsman and tourist will

will be necessary or convenient ; here also is the general store 
and taxidermy of M. Abbott Frazar, of Boston, an artist in 
his line, where the sportsman can have his fish or game 
mounted in the highest perfection of this art. From Green-

Pond, is 7 m. farther on; Mountain Pond is 7 m. from Lily 
Bay ; from the First Roach Pond it is but 4 m. by trail to the 
West Branch Ponds, three in number, and as good a place as

are 14 m. from Roach River, 26 m. from Greenville, on Sec- 
ond Roach Pond, reached by steamer from Cireenville to Lily 
Bay, thence by buckboard, a celebrated fishing and hunting 
resort, as good as there is, in plain view of White Cap Moun- 
tain, the second highest elevation in the State; in all this 
region there is as good hunting for deer, moose, ruffed grouse 
and other game as there is au}^ where. From Lower Roach 
River, or pond, you reach the celebrated sporting camp at the 
Grant Farm, so called, H. B. Morrison, prop., about 10 m. 
b}" team, a great resort for fishermen and hunters ; 4 m. from 
Roach River are located the celebrated hunting camps of B. 
A. Runnells, called Camp Cyrus, a beautiful location, and a 
favorite resort for the fi.sherman and the hunter, abounding 
in fish and big game. At the Grant Farm you strike the out- 
let of Ragged Lake, also Caribou Lake, about 6 m. from 
the Grant Farm, also Deer Pond and many others, great 
fishing ponds, and a great country for game. Here you are 
but 9 m. from the foot of Chesuncook Lake ; at the Grant 
Farm you are within 7 m. of the popular sporting camps of 
F. L. Shaw, known as the old "Joe Morris Place," reached 
by way of Lily Bay, Roach River and the Grant Farm, a fav- 
orite resort for the fisherman and the hunter; there are many 
celebrated trout streams wathin easy distance. Starting 
again from Greenville or Kineo, and proceeding up the lake 
by steamer, 20 m. from Kineo, we reach the North East 
carrj', so called, and the sporting camp, or hotel and general 
supply store of S. S. Hibbard & Co., where all conveniences 
for the sportsman can be procured and all arrangements made 



50 

for hunting, fishing, or canoeing trips, and supplies and out- 
fits procured, or if you choose to remain here j'ou will not be 
disappointed in any particular. Crossing the carry, 2 m. by a 
good road, you come to the west branch of the PenobvScot 
River, thence by canoe or trail, down the river 3 m. to lyob- 
ster Brook ; this brook is navigable 3 m. to Lobster Lake ; 
proceeding down the river through the celebrated Moose 
Horn you reach the Half Way House, so called, a celebrated 
hunting and fishing resort, kept by J. W. Smith, or " Joe," 
as he is familiarly called ; here you are in the midst of fine 
hunting and fishing ; thence down the river 10 m. by canoe 
or trail by Pine Stream, over Pine Stream Falls and Rocky 
Rips to Chesuncook Lake ; this trip has been frequently de- 
scribed in song and story, and is certainly a delightful 
one; Chesuncook Lake is 18 m. 1., filled with togue and 
trout, large numbers of which are annually taken. Here also 
is the dividing of the ways and where you have one of the 
finest views of Mt. Katahdin ; you may also reach Caribou 
Lake through the Thoroughfare from Chesuncook, and 
Kelley Pond, also Rainbow Lake, one of the finest in Maine 
and having the clearest water ; also Moose Pond, by way of 
Moose Brook, and from Moose Pond Duck Pond is reached; 
Rainbow Lake is best reached, however, from Ripogenus, at 
the lower end of Chesuncook Lake ; taking a northwest- 
ward course from the upper end of Chesuncook we pass up 
the Umbazookskus Stream to Umbazookskus Lake, about 9 
m., thence across this lake to Mud Pond carry ; this carry is 
about 3 m. from Mud Pond, thence across Mud Pond, and 
following the stream, we arrive at Chamberlain Lake, a large 
body of water about 15 m. by 5 m. ; passing down this lake 
by Chamberlain Farm, and through quick water, you pass 
into Eagle Lake, a most beautiful lake ; passing down Eagle 
Lake through Thoroughfare Brook, you reach Churchill 
Lake; — these lakes abound in trout and togue; Churchill

empty into this lake, the northern one of which is the outlet 
of Spider Lake about 2 m. 1. and i. m. w., filled with togue ; 
going from Spider Lake you could reach the chain of lakes 
which would lead you to Chase and Munsungan Lakes, Milli- 
nockett Lake, Aroostook River and the Ox Bow. Soper 
Brook and Smith Brook empty into Eagle Lake, great resorts 



51 
for moose hunting ; from the head of Churchill Lake it is 
about 6 m. to Chase carr}-, the outlet of the lake; the carry is 
something more than a mile ; this place in the river has 
received the name of " Devil's Elbow," not an inappropriate 
appellation as it strikes me in going over it ; passing down 
the river, Umsaskis Lake, some lom. away, is reached; pass- 
ing down this lake, Long Lake, about 6 m. is reached, and you 
may reach the famous ' ' Depot Farm ' ' ; from here 3'ou may 
take a road to the Seven Islands and the main St. John 
River, thence continuing eastward to Musquacook Lake and 
Ashland. From the Depot Farm it is about 8 m. to Round 
Pond or Square Lake ; passing down this pond Musquacook 
Stream is passed and Five Finger Brook and then Glazier 
Brook, and you are now in the Allegash River ; going by the

John, thence to Ft. Kent ; in the vicinity of the junction of 
the Allegash and St. John Rivers are the Nigger Brook 
Rapids, and from this vicinity a trip up the St. Francis River 
and its inlets may be had if desirable ; on all this long route 
the sportsman is constant^ in touch with nature, the scenery 
is grand beyond description. It is a great country for game,

favorite one with the sportsman is from Kineo to Eagle Lake, 
fully described above, thence up Smith Brook to Haymock

from Webster Lake, and from this point the road runs to 
Trout Brook Farm, thence to Patten, 34 m. ; Grand Lake is 
an attractive body of water, and a favorite resort with the fish- 
erman, hunter and tourist ; you now have before you a route

starting from Kineo, thence to Chamberlain Lake as describ-

oughfare, and through Telos cut, so called, into Webster

and deer, and excellent fishing ; from the foot of Telos Lake 
by carry about 7 m. the famous hunting and fishing resorts in 
and around Nesourdnahunk Lake are reached, also reached 
from Patten, by team 50 m., or from Norcross up the W. 
Branch and by carry about 15 m. over a good road, by many 



54 

regarded as by far the best hunting for big game in all our 
borders ; certain it is that there is no trout fishing that can 
excel it; nobody can make any mistake, if they wish the fin- 
est trout fishing they ever enjoyed, to go to Nesourdnahunk 
region, and as many moose or more are taken from this sec- 
tion every year as from any other within the confines of 
Maine. Another favorite route is, starting from Kineo take 
the steamer to N. W. Carry, 20 m., where is located the 
sporting house of Miles P. Colbath, known as the Seboomook 
House, where the sportsman will find a pleasant home and 
first class sport in every respect ; thence by carry about 2 m.

Forks, so called ; taking the south branch at the Forks you

Brook, Hale Brook, Penobscot L,ake and the head of naviga- 
tion even for canoe. This is a fine countr}- for moose, deer 
and trout, also for ruffed grouse and some ducks. Proceed- 
ing up the north branch you pass lyane Brook, Leadbetter 
Falls, famous Green Mt. Pool, where a thorough sportsman 
told me that in October, 1899, he saw at least a hayrack load 
of trout, many of which would weigh 5 lbs., — this man is reli- 
able too ; it is a famous trout pool ; continuing you pass Dole 
Brook and reach what is called the " High landing," and you

spoken of ; all this region around St. Johns Pond and Baker 
Lake with the famous bogs is great hunting ground for 
moose, ruffed grouse, bears and wild cats, and duck abound, 
— this is a favorite trip. Starting again from Greenville, on 
the C. P. Ry. to Lake Megantic and the Province of Quebec, 
we follow the west shore of Moosehead Lake to the East Out- 
let of the lake, so called, where are situated the famous 
sporting camps and hotel kept for many years by Henry I. 
Wilson & Sons ; this was one of the earliest fishing resorts 
on the lake, and probably more trout have been taken here 
than in an}' other portion of Moosehead Lake. From this sta- 



55 
tioii Indian Pond is reached, 4 ^ m. by team, or by canoe 
and team ; it may also be reached from Kineo by steamer ; 
this is a famous fishing -and hunting resort for moose, deer,

remarkable springs of the purest water in all New Hngland, 
rapidly becoming famous throughout the country ; many seek 
this place on account of this s])ring of water alone. The 
famous Miser}' Pond and Stream, noted for its excellent trout 
fashing and hunting for moose, deer and ruffed grouse, is 12 
m. from Asquith station by team; passing up the railroad 
from Asquith, lyong Pond is reached, also reached from 
Kineo by way of Moose River, good fishing for land-locked

camps 9 m., PVed Henderson, prop., in the center of avast 
fishing and hunting countr>- ; at Moose River the sportsman 
can obtain all necessar}' supplies and outfits at the general 
store of Uan'l Hancox, or at Sullivan Newton's store at 
Jackman, at reasonable rates; the traveller will find a pleas- 
ant home at the Newton House, Jackman, or at the Arm- 
strong House, Moose River ; the sportsman can also find 
here a taxidermist, Mr. Rock Oilman ; passing up the rail- 
road from Jackman 14 m. we arrive at Sand Reach station on 
the C. P. R>'. on the shore of Holeb Lake, a wondrously 
beautiful sheet of water, filled with land-locked salmon and 
trout ; midway of the lake, on as ])retty an island as there is 
in the world, are the celebrated camps of C. vS. Cook, of 
Boston, known as the "Boston Ranch" formerly the 



56 

Birch Island House and Camps, a lovely place, with 
high elevation, and every surrounding to please the 
tourist ; within eas}- reach of these camps by canoe or 
trail, are more than a dozen other lakes and ponds, literally 
teeming with square tailed trout ; no finer fishing can be had 
in Maine, or any more desirable outing place found ; deer, 
moose and ruffed grouse are abundant ; this is a famous fish- 
ing and hunting resort ; passing up the railroad from Holeb 
we arrive at Lowelltown, in the county of Franklin, thence to 
the boundary line between the Province of Quebec and 
Maine, in the midst of a fine hunting and fishing resort. 
These hunting and fishing resorts mentioned on the line of 
the C. P. Ry. from Greenville to the boundary are all in 
Somerset County, but so closely connected with Greenville in 
Piscataquis County that they are described in this chapter.

ates the line of the electric railway, which runs through a 
beautiful and picturesque country to this lake, and, in con- 
nection with its park, have an elegant and finely equipped 
hotel. The park, the lake, and the surroundings combine to 
make this one of the most popular resorts in Maine. 



58 

L/ake George, situated in the town of Canaan, is reached 
by carriage ride of 6 m. from Skowhegan. This is a beautiful 
sheet of water and is popularly called " Somerset's Saratoga." 
The lake is 3 ra. 1., is very deep and remarkable for the 
transparency of its waters, which are fed entirely by numer- 
ous springs, one of its most pleasing features. I^arge num- 
bers of pickerel, white and red perch, and trout are taken at 
the proper season. It has recently been heavily stocked with 
land-locked salmon. Here the tourist and sportsman will 
find the justly popular hotel, Mohican House, George E. 
Washburn, proprietor, a popular and favorite resort for the 
tourist and the sportsman. 

Starting from Oakland, on the M. C. R. R. above men- 
tioned, at the junction of the Somerset Ry., and passing up 
this railroad, the beautiful and thriving town of Madison is 
reached, 20 m. from Oakland, 98 m. from Portland. You 
are here within 5 m. of Hayden Lake above mentioned, and 
may reach it by the electric railway alluded to above ; from 
this point are also reached several ponds affording excellent 
fishing, also many brook trout streams. Madison is situtated 
on the Kennebec River and here are located some of the 
largest pulp mills in the world ; on the opposite side of the 
river from Madison is the beautiful town of Anson ; from this 
village the town of New" Portland is reached, and the sports- 
man if he wishes can continue to Kingfield, Dead River and

59 

from Bingham and these towns contain some half a dozen or 
more small ponds where good trout fishing may be had ; at 
Bingham 3'ou take stage or carriage for the famous " Carry- 
ing Place " Ponds ; these are famous trout ponds and a favor- 
ite resort for the fisherman and the hunter ; here are the 
noted sporting camps of Henry J. Lane, 11 in numl)er, situ- 
ated in a romantic and picturescpie country ; no grander 
scenery can be found, high elevation, and many mountains 
"lift their heads high up among the clouds"; these ponds derive 
their name from the historic military expedition of Benedict 
Arnold, of Revolutionary fame, up the Kennebec River in his 
fruitless attempt to capture Quel)ec. Arnold left the river 
with his army and proceeded across the country by these 
ponds to Flagstaff on his march to Quebec. These are fam- 
ous trout ponds, — more than 12,000 trout being taken in 
1899 ; this is also a famous game country ; 40 deer and one 
bear and other small game were taken out by sportsmen 
stopping at these camps in the fall of 1S99. 

Proceeding by stage or team from Bingham you pass 
through Carratuidv, where you are in close proximity to 
Pleasant Pond, a large and beautiful sheet of water 3]^^ m. 
away, where is found excellent trout fishing ; the water in 
this lake is exceptionally deep, the trout unusually large, 
man}' being taken weighing more tlian 2jj lbs. Continuing by 
stage or carriage from Carratunk the celebrated " Forks " of 
the Kennebec River are reached, where the sportsman will 
find a pleasant home at the hotel of J. A. Merrill, where all 
needed information, supplies, outfits, guides, carriages, etc., 
may be procured. 

You are here at the entrance of a vast domain for fishing 
and hunting. Following the main Kennebec River you 
would pass Moxie vStream, Black Stream, Dead Stream, the 
outlet of Ellis and Wilson Ponds to Indian Pond, to Wilson's 
Hotel at the east outlet of Moosehead Lake, through a wild 
and romantic country, abounding in fi.sli and game. 

From The Forks, 6 m. by buckboard, you can reach the 
celebrated Ten-thousand Acre Ponds, three in number, and 
within a radius of 10 m. many smaller ponds are reached, af- 
fording the finest of trout fi.shing in lake, pond or stream, 
and there are no other fish in these waters. Otter Ponds in 
Bow Town, 4 m. away, and Pierces Pond, 15 m., contain 



6o

Pond, and many others, are reached by trail or buckboard 
from the Parlin Pond House, at Parlin Pond, a justly cele- 
brated fishing and hunting resort, where the sportsman is 
rarely if ever disappointed in his catch of fish, or the capture 
of big game. One of the finest drives in the world, without 
exception, is from Parlin Pond to The Forks, and thence to 
Bingham. I have heard many tourists speak of it as one of 
the most beautiful drives to be found anywhere. 

At the West P'orks, so called, 5 m. from The P^orks, you 
take buckboard to ITpper Ivnchanted Lake. This lake is all 
that its name implies ; from Enchanted it is 5 m. to Big 
Spencer Lake, and thence 4 m. to King-Bartlett Lakes, de- 
scribed in the chapter on P'ranklin County, a country abound- 
ing in trout, deer, moose, ruffed grouse and bears. It should 
be stated that when you are at Carratunk you may reach the 
Kilgore Ponds, 12 in number, where there is great pickerel 
fishing and excellent hunting for moose, deer, ruffed grouse 
and other game.

Dead River and Flagstaff, mentioned in the chapter on 
Franklin County, famous fishing and hunting resorts, may be

6i 

of New Portland. When at iHagstaff you will find a i)leasant

Durrell, proprietor. 

Acro.ss Flagstaff Lake, thence by trail 3 ni., the beauti- 
fully situated and justly popular .sporting camps of Wing 
Bros, are reached, in as fine fishing and hunting country as 
there is in Maine. 

Perhaps an easier way to reach Plagstaff and these camps 
and Dead River is by way of M. C. R. R. from Portland to 
Farmington, thence by F'armington and Phillips narrow 
gauge R. R. to Strong, thence by FVanklin and Megantic Ry. 
to Kingfield, thence by team. 

FVom Oreenville, mentioned in the chapter on Piscata- 
({uis County, to the Boundary, on the line of the Canadian 
Pacific Ry. many noted hunting and fishing resorts in this 
county are reached, which are fully described in the chapter 
on Piscataquis County. 

When at Pittsfield, on the M. C. R. R. between Water- 
ville and Bangor, change cars for the vSebasticook R. R. from 
Pittsfield to Hartland. 

Moose Pond, situated in Hartland and Harmony, is a 
large body of water, abounding in trout, white perch and 
pickerel. Numerous trout streams may also be easily reach- 
ed where excellent fishing is had ; fine ruffed grou.se shoot- 
ing, and many deer are annually taken in this section. 

Somerset County, as stated in the Ijeginning of this 
chapter, is a famous country for fishing and hunting, and 
held in great favor by large numbers of enthusiastic sports- 
men.

Fishing and Hunting Resorts. 

Deer, bears, wild cats, foxes, ruffed grouse, woodcock, 
duck and plover are very plentiful, and the moose of late 
years have been rapidly increasing in numbers. Land- 
locked salmon, trout, togue, white perch, pickerel and black 
bass fishing is unexcelled. 

This county contains 147 lakes and ponds, and is a com- 
paratively new section for the sportsman, being now for the 
first time accessible by railroad, the thoroughly ecpiipped and 
first class road, the Washington County R. R. being opened 
for travel in 1899. This railroad is called the "Sunrise" 
route, and the county is called the " Sunrise " County. This 
railroad extends from Washington Junct., on the Mt. Desert 
Branch of the M. C. R. R., 33 m. from Bangor, to Machias, 
Hastport, Calais and Princeton, 100 m. through the finest of 
hunting and fishing resorts. When speaking of fishing re- 
sorts in this county what we say will apply equally as well to 
them as hunting resorts. Twenty-five years ago when deer 
had practically become extinct in Maine on account of the 
depredations of the cru.st hunter, " pot hunter," market 
hunters and wolves, Maine enacted stringent laws ; the 
wolves suddenly disappeared and the State was re-stocked by 
the deer in this county. At Washington Junct. you take the 
W. C. R. R. for all points in this county. The old stage 
route from this junction, or from T^ranklin Roads in Hancock 
County, takes you to within easy reach of Flanders. Spring 
River and other small poi)ds in this town, (Franklin), in 
which there is good land-locked salmon, trout, togue, white 
perch and pickerel fishing ; you pass along the shore of 
Taunton and Hog Ba}' within easy reach of Georges, Don- 
nells, and other small ponds and in close proximity to Fox, 
Long, Gt. Tunk, Round, Rocky and other ponds, 20 m. to 
Cherry field ; these ponds afford good salmon, trout, white 
perch and pickerel fishing, and all along this route there is 
first class deer, ruffed grouse, and around the waters most ex- 
cellent duck shooting, but the railroad is the route the sports- 
men usually take. Franklin is the first station after leaving 
Washington Junct., beautifully situated on an arm of French- 
man's Bay, and with Unionville next has many natural at- 
tractions for the touri-st ; before reaching Unionville 3-ou pass 
close to Donnells, Flanders, Great Tunk, Long, Rocky, 



63 
and Roan Ponds, famous resorts for land-locked salmon, 
trout, togue, white perch and pickerel fishing, also a great 
country for deer, ruffed grouse and ducks ; the charming 
town of Cherryfield is next reached, at the head of navigation 
on the Narraguagus River, and is a central point from which 
to reach Milbridge, Steuben and the various summer colonies 
scattered along their coast line, as well as those of Goulds- 
boro and Winter Harbor. h'rom this point the mountains 
and highlands to the north are reached, with beautiful drives 
over fine roads, winding about and to the summits of some of 
the most prominent elevations. Deblois, Beddington and a 
grand hunting and fishing country are reached from here, 
containing Schoodic and Spruce Mt. Ponds, 14 m., Machias 
Lake, 32 m., containing pickerel, white perch, trout and 
eels, Horseshoe Lake, 28 m., brook trout fishing, the two

chias River ; these are bodies of water varying in size from 5 
sq. m. to I sq. m., and afford, with their numerous inlets, un- 
surpassed fishing for trout, land-locked salmon, pickerel, 
white perch and black bass, and are favorite resorts for the 
sportsman from Cherryfield by canoe or carriage ; [all this 
vast country abounds in' deer, wild cats, bears, duck, ruffed 
grouse, and there is also moose. 

You will find here the general supply store of H. H. 
Bowles, and the experienced guide, Charles Corliss, where 
all needed information can be had. Continuing from Cherry- 
field the town of Harrington is reached, 6 m. and Columbia, 10 
m. These are picturesque villages and contain beautiful sea- 
side resorts, at Ripley Neck, Addison Point, Pleasant and 
Union Rivers. A few miles north of these stations are the 
vast upland blueberry plains, or barrens, a country entirely 
denuded of forests and a resort for hundreds of blueberry 
pickers, where thousands of bushels of blueberries are annu- 
ally taken and put up in cans for the markets of the world ; a 
country well worth going many miles to see. Columbia Falls, 
at the head of navigation on Pleasant River, is a beautiful 
town, with many natural advantages for the sportsman ; here 



64 

Atlantic salmon are canght in Pleasant River. Continuing 
ahnig the line of railroad Machias and I{. Machias are 
reached, 58 and 62 ni. Ironi Ikmgor respecti\ely, from which

pass through the town of Charlotte, where is situated the 
famous Pennamac|uan I/ike and Round Pond, famous fish- 
ing resorts for black bass, white ])erch and pickerel ; Meddy- 
bemj)S, and the famous Meddybemps Pake, a large body ol 
water, also Pittle Pake, may be reached from Charlotte, but 
more easily from ]>aring,, famous lakes for fishing and a fine 
country for hunting ; passing along the railroad we reach vSt. 
Croix Junct. on the St. Croix River, and the- city of Calais. 
Here is a famous salmon pool, a noted resort where .sea salmon 
of large si/.e are caught with the (ly ; this salmon pool has 
been growing in favor of late years and jjcrhajos may be said 
to be the best in tlie .State; the city of Calais is a delightful 
city; it ccnitains several lakes of large si/.e and many small 
ponds; the principal lakes are P*,ast, West, Magurrewock, 
Beaver, Round, (xolding and Western Pakes, where there is 
fine fishing for land-lf)cked salmon, jtnnit, white ])erch, togue, 
black bass and pickerel, and are easily reached by carriage ; 
there is al.so excellent duc-k shooting around these lakes, 
and ruffed grouse, some ])lover and snipe. 

The city of Calais is 103 m. from Jiangor by rail ; it may 
also be reached by way of the M. C. R. R. from Pangor to 
Vanceboro, thence by the Atlantic Division of the C. P. Ry., 
40 m. ; it may also be reached by boat from lioston, or ])y the

Hotel, I). M. (Gardner & Co., props., will entertain all 
si)ortsmen or tourists in a satisfactory manner. Here teams, 
boats or canoes may be ])roc-ured ; till su])plies needed by the 
sportsman can be j)urchased at the large general store of 
H. P\ Ivaton ik Sons. The Todd Pros, are among the most 
enterprising business men in this section of the .State. 

At Calais you take the Princeton liranch of the Wash- 
ington Co. R. R. for Princeton about 20 m., or you may go 
by carriage, a most charming route, through a Pjvely country ; 
at Whidden Farm on the R. R. route the great Cocomoon-

perch, black bass or pickerel fishing in the world, landing at 
the outlet of Grand Lake Stream ; thence by team 2 1-2 m.

Chas. A. Rolfe, whom everybody knows, anil who keeps a 
first class general supply store, where the sportsman will re- 
ceive kindly, courteous treatment and procure at reasonable 
prices all needed supplies. Do not forget to inquire for the 
genial Chas. F. l^aton, one of the most popular sportsmen in 
the State, prop, of a steam yacht that will take you any-, 
where in these waters, ami if necessary he will jump the logs 
en route with it. 

Grand Lake Stream, just alluded to, affords as fine fly 
fishing for land-locked salmon as can be found anywhere ; it 
is a short stream, some 2 1-2 m. in length, with grand falls 
and elegant pools, and is sometimes navigated with a canoe. 
Grand Lake is a famous lake, 12 m. 1. by 5 or more w., one 
of the four original land-locked salmon lakes in Maine, and 
one of the surest and most certain for catches of land-locked 
salmon or togue of any lake I know of ; the salmon are not 
usually of large size, though sometimes caught weighing as 
hic^h as seven pounds : there are multitudes of them ; the 
togue fishing is first class, and of the finest quality I have 
ever seen ; there are also catches of square tailed trout, but in 
small quantities ; this is a famous and noted fishing resort and 
is constantly growing in favor ; it is also a great hunting re- 
sort from Princeton to and in and around this country, and 
for a few vears past some moose have been taken ; moose 
seem to be increasing in this locality. From Grand Lake, 
Ox Brook, West Musquash, and a multitude of other 
lakes and ponds are reached ; there are also many streams 
which afford good brook trout fishing, and as described in 
the chapter on Penobscot County, Horseshoe, Sisladobsis, 
Dobsis, Sisladobsisis, Duck. Junior. Pocompass, Keg. Bottle 
and other lakes are reached by canoe and short can-ies. 

To the sportsman who wishes first class fishing, or the 
hunter in quest of big game. I do not hesitate to recommend 
him to go to Washington County. Registered guides may be 
had in any of the towns mentioned, outfits procured, com- 



67 

fortable sjjorting camps and good hotels may be found, and I 
think I may safely say fair and considerate treatment will be 
received. It is imjxjssible to s];ecify jjarticularly every lake 
or ])ond in whicli there is good fishing. Stopping at any of 
the stations on tliis railroad irom Washington Junct. to 
Machias, from there to Calais, or from Calais to Princeton, 
the sportsman or tourist will be certain of a hearty welcome, 
easily procure guides, and learn more definitely of the locali- 
ties herein described. I tliink you would be satisfierl with a 
fishing or hunting trip to this " vSunrise " county. 

There remains yet another important section in this 
county to be described ; leaving Bangor for Vanceboro and 
vSt. John, N. B., on the M. C. R. R. you pass through the 
town of Danforth, 88 m. from Bangor ; here is Hotbrook 
Pond, 5 m. 1. one m. w., of easy access, first class V>lack bass,

Danforth the next station is Jackson Brook PI. ; here is 
Baskahegan and Jackson Brook Lake, famous bodies of

Vanceboro is the next .station, on the St. Croix River ; 
at Vanceboro you are on the shore of F'irst Lake where you 
can take steamers for »Spednic Lake and for Grand Lake, and 
the sporting camps of Mrs. G. W. Ross, situated on vSpednic 
Lake ; there is no finer duck shooting in the State than can 



68 

be had in and around the lakes and ponds herein described, 
or on the St. Croix Riv^er, while from ever\' station on this road 
in this county as fine a deer country as there is in Maine can 
be reached, and it is a favorite resort for the sportsman. 
Guides and outfits may be procured. 

The C. P. Ry. from St. John, Calais, Cxreenville and 
Montreal, as well as the Maine Central R. R. pass through 
Vanceboro, and it should be said in justice to this town that 
it is one of the most beautifully located and has the most 
charming surroundings of any inland town in the State of 
Maine. It is a favorite resort for summer tourists, fishermen

71 
It should be understood that the lakes and ponds in this 
count}' are not resorted to by sportsmen or fishermen to any 
great extent ; the towns in the northern part of this county 
are favorite summer resorts, there are mam- excellent hotels 
and boarding houses, and these ponds and lakes afford ex- 
cellent sport for the summer tourist. 

There are also many brooks and large streams, favorite 
fishing resorts for brook trout ; the country is clean, health- 
ful, picturesque, the people are hospitable and it is in every 
way desirable for a summer home. 

Hontingf, 

There are no moose ; there is no open time on deer; 
along the coast and around the ponds there is excellent duck 
shooting, also snipe ; in the northern part of the county 
ruffed grouse are plentiful ; there are also man}- excellent 
woodcock covers ; fox hunting is a favorite pastime. 



A WORD TO THE SPORTSMAN* 

The value of the Maine forests cannot be over estimated. 
Any one who has been in a district over which a fire has re- 
centh' passed will appreciate the utter ruin of this district for 
several 3-ears for any purpose, for the tourist, the hunter or 
the angler. I am confident that every sportsman is glad to 
do anything in his power to prevent destruction of the for- 
ests, and will carefully observe the following suggestions : 

First. The greatest care should be exercised between 
April I St and October 31st, and if a fire is made in the forest, 
or at a distance of less than half a mile therefrom, or upon 
any island, for cooking or obtaining warmth, the maker 
should first select a locality in which there is no vegetable 
matter, dead wood, branches, brush wood, dry leaves or 
resinous trees. 

Second. Clear the place in which he is about to light 
the fire, b}- removing everything of a combustible nature 
from the soil within a radius of at least 10 feet from the 
fire. 



72 

Third. Do not let IIk' fire spread under any circuni- 
stances. Carelully extin^atish the same before quitting- the 
place. Be sure that all burning; matches, ashes of pipes, 
lighted cigars, or other burning substance, are completely 
extinguished l)el\)re >-ou leave the spot. Too much care can- 
not be observed in these important ]iarticulars. 

Von will see wherever you go the following notice, post- 
ed by the forest commissioner, by the authority of the Legis- 
lature of the vState, which you should carefully read and 
full>' i)bser\e : 

" I>C7('arc of setti)io- fnr on /'"orrsf and 7^iiiilh>- Land ! " 

followed 1)>- the sections of the statute in relation to it. 

In describing fishing resorts, or canoe trii)S I luwe not 
indicated camping grounds or Nolume oi water in streams 
you will traverse, or particularized as to the kind of gun, 
cartridges, shells, fishing rod or other necessary equipments 
best for the sportsman or tourist ; if the reader is not .already 
informed he should leave these matters to his guide, who will 
be thoroughly familiar with all these subjects. Any inatten- 
tion, misinft)nnation, ■ indifference or incompetenc>- on the 
part of a guide should be innnediately reported to me. 
They are commissioned by the vState and are amenable 
to the State for their conduct while guiding. I have 
used the words "good," "excellent," "fine," etc. in 
reference to hunting and fishing resorts quite frequently. I 
believe the .sportsman will find sulxstantially what I have de- 
scribed, but no one should be led to believe that fish can always 
be caught at any given place by simply baiting a hook and 
putting it in the water attached io a line, or casting a fiy or 
dragging a spoon hook, or kill deer, nn)Ose, bears, wild cats, 
or ruffed grouse b>- simpl>- taking a gun into the woods of 
Maine. It takes time, patience and skill to catch fish or kill 
game an> wliere. Man\- come to Maine io kill a moose and 
fail, many others succeed ; some fail to get a deer, not many, 
howe\-er ; no one, unless he strikes exceptionally "noisy" 
hunting ought to fail in getting a deer ; not every one kills a 
bear or wild cat, man>- do; ruffed grouse, woodcock and duck 
are easilv taken b\- an ex]KM-ienced hunter, or by a novice 
even. 



73 



The Good Old Times. 

I frcfiucnlly hear a remark soiiitlliin^' like lliis, " l-'isli 
don't bite as the>' used to, there are luA so many trout cauj^ht 
in this or tliat lake, ])ond or stream as when I was a boy." 
This is an ei'njr ; there are more trout in Maine waters today 
than at any time since the days Ijefore the forests were cut 
away and the lands cleared, and more were caught in the 
year 1899 than any \ear in its history. 

The cost of a trij) to Maine de])ends of course u])on the 
haljits and tastes of the .s])ortsman ; you can s])end much or 
j^et alon<4 moderatel\-. There is uniformit\- of time tlirough- 
out New fvnj^land. The j^reat trans])ortation routes to 
Maine are well known, over tlie I^oston & Maine R. R., or 
by the Mountain I)i\ision of the Maine Central from White 
Mountains, N. H., tlie I'fM-tland cS: Rochester R. R. from 
Worcester, Mass., the (/rand Trunk R. R. from Montreal, 
the Canadian Pacific R\'. from M(jntreal, or steamers from 
New York or Boston to Portland and points on the coa.st, 
Auj^usta and Bangor. 

Trusting you will ca])ture the limit of fisli and game 
allowed by law on your trij) to Maine, I am, 

vSincerel}' j'ours, 

THE AUTHOR.

Penobscot Sporting Camps, 

JACKMAN, HAINE. 

WILLIAM MURTHA, - - Proprietor. 



This territory, embracing the network of lakes 
which form the source of the Penobscot River, lies 27 
miles "in" from Jackman. Fifteen miles of this dis- 
tance is covered by a fine carriage road and the bal- 
ance on horseback and by canoe. 

In the centre of a preserve, on Penobscot Pond, 
embracing the three Dingley, two Greeney, North 
Bay, White Birch, Mud, Lane, Chainey, Fish, and 
Long Ponds, we have established comfortable home 
camps. The Ponds are so situated that nine out of 
the ten may be easily visited in a day's journey, and 
good trails and short carries connect them. 

A paradise for the fly fisherman. Square-tailed 
trout weighing from half a pound to a pound may be 
caught at all seasons of the year, in endless numbers. 
Long Pond offers fine togue fishing. 

As a deer section this territory rivals the world. 
Last year from June 6 to 26, Theo. H. Eaton of 
Harvard University saw by actual count 1936 deer, 
a moose, and a caribou. 

We give good food, comfortable accommodations, 
supply guides familiar with the country, and have 
canoes, outfits, etc. Our rates are $1.00 a day for a 
long or short stay. 

The territory is new, wild, and has been little 
fished and hunted. We know of no place truly "in 
the wilderness" that is more easily reached or which 
offers rarer sport. 

Jackman lies 40 miles above Greenville. It is 
easil}^ reached by the Canadian Pacific Railway 
through that point or Sherbrooke, P. Q.

Have for many years been known as the home 
of the Largest BROOK TROUT in the world, many 
fish being taken of weights from 5 to lo pounds. 
Now Rangeley Lake has come to the fore as one of 
the greatest bodies of water for breeding LAND- 
LOCKED SALMON, and anglers for fighting land- 
locks visit Rangeley from all over the world. No 
better hunting territory exists than the Dead River 
Region, and this territory is covered with small ponds 
and lakes where abound square-tailed trout and land- 
locked salmon.

Situated on the highest elevation of any Summer Hotel ia the State of Maine, 
being 2700 feet above sea level. Fishing and Hunting unsurpassed. Good 
Fishing within 200 yards of House. : : : : : : : : : : 

AGLIMPSt; at the map of Northern Maine will show the prospective summer 
traveler Jackman's exact location. Situated on the Canadian Pacific Railway, 
at the extreme headwaters of Moosehead Lake, on the tips of the Apalachain Moun- 
tains, Jackman nestles, a most delightful resort for the weary business man or the 
enthusiastic sportsman. The cold mountain brooks and the spring-fed ponds and 
lakes are full of fighting trout and land-locked salmon, amply supplied by our Fish 
Commissioners with trout and salmon fry ; we have protected them by closing our 
w^aters to winter fishing, and thus afford an abundant yield. The best of brook and 
pond fishing is convenient to the Hotel, and the drives along the old picturesque 
Quebec Stage Road are charming. As a health resort I would draw especial atten- 
tion to it. Hay fever is unknown and the relief to the incoming sufferer is immedi-, 
ate. A well equipped Livery is run in connection with the. House and the wants of 
the summer traveller will receive our constant attention. Family parties can be 
especially provided for. Correspondence solicited. Address, 

H. P. McKBNNEY, Jackman, Maine.

INEO, from its high latitude and great elevation above 
the sea level, boasts a climate which offers un- 
equalled advantages to those seeking refuge from 
the heat, or to sufferers from hay fever. Pure air, 
pure water, the aroma of the great pine forests, the breezes 
over the clear water of the lake, combine to bring health to 
the invalid and relief to the overworked body and brain. Be- 
sides the ascent of Mount Kineo, there are forest walks, 
bic5'cling, tennis, golf and boat or canoe excursions to the 
numerous points of interest in the vicinity, such as Pebble 
Beach, the Cliff, Devil's Delight, Hatching Works, Moody 
Island, etc. 

For those who wish to explore the country farther, the 
' ' Kineo ' ' and other steamers are at hand to convey parties 
to the outlet, Socatean, Northeast Carry, or any point on the 
lake. 

Sportsmen know that the Mount Kineo House is in the 
heart of the hunting and fishing of this region, at the gate- 
way to the head waters of the Penobscot and the great Maine 
Wilderness. Here are boats, birch canoes and guides, as 
well as supplies of every kind needed in the woods. 

A carriage road extends through the woods to the base 
of Mount Kineo, where there is a stairway to make the as- 
cent of the mountain safe . and easy. A delightful outing 
which all should take is the charming foliage- fringed drive 
of five miles along the grand old lake to " Deer Head Farm." 
Leaving the hotel, the drive is past the magnificent moun- 
tain, which towers one thousand feet above, in all its wild- 
ness and grandeur, forming, as it were, a grand gateway to 
the terminus of the drive — "Deer Head Farm," Buck- 
boards always in readiness. 

The fact that the house is now under the management of 
C. A. Judkins, who has been the assistant manager for the 
past eight years, is to our old patrons a sufficient guarantee 
that the table and service generally will be of the best. For

Very best work in.... 

Taxidermy 

is what we claim to do. We more than ehiim it— AVE PROVE IT — and there 
are hundreds of handsome heads in all parts of the Union that show our 
handiwork. Ours is tlie largest estahlishment of its kind in America; we 
mount more game heads than any other house: we have skilled workmen in 
every department. We wouldn't get such a grist of orders year after year if 
we weren't safe, sure, faithful taxidermists of well-known reputation. 

We guarantee correct mounting of Deer, Moose, 
Caribou, Bear, Mountain Sheep, Ell<, Antelope, and 
Mountain Goat Meads, and of all Game Fish 

We are getting more and more game heads from the west each year. Sports- 
men fiiad it is just as easy to ship heads direct to us afi to send them to tax- 
idermists nearer their home, and with us they feel always sure of having the 
work thorouglily well done in every way. We keep a splendid stock of mounted 
heads for sale, and can furnish gentlemen's home "dens" with any decorations 
known to our art. 

CEND for our printed instructions how to li/f can supply information and compe- 
cure heads for mounting. They are tant guides for any hunting ground in 

good to know— are free for the aslting. the United States or Canada.

They are eight miles from Jackman station on the Canadian Pacific road and

them direct to the camps with my own buckboard. Excellent hotel accommodations 
can be obtained at Jackman. Should parties airrive by night trains or without notice, 
they will always find a team to drive them to camp. The elevation of the Heald

Pioneer Manufacturer of 

Canvas Canoes, 

BANGOP, MAINI!:. 

^ ^ ^ 

THE workmanship and material in the Gerrish canoes 
and boats cannot be excelled by any maker, they 
being of the best, care being taken to have nothing but 
experienced workmen and selected stock. Twenty- 
five years' experience has given the inventor the only 
perfect filler for making canoes perfectly waterproof. 
The advantages claimed are : 

The superior workmanship. 

It is perfectly tight and cannot leak until the bot- 
tom is actually cut through. 

Even if cut through the place is instantly located 
and quickly mended. 

The uniformity of canvas permits the finest possi- 
ble lines, consequently the shape is true and ensures the 
utmost speed. 

The model is graceful and pretty as well as fast. 

It cannot be injured by heat, sun or dampness, and 
while possessing all of the above advantages it can be 
had at very reasonable cost. 

Twenty-five different styles to select from. lycngth 
8 to 30 feet. Prices $15 to $50. For descriptive booklet

TELOS SPORTING CAMPS. 

Sportsmen, do you want a moose the 
coming fall? If you do why not go a 
little farther into the woods, and be sure 
of getting one? Moose are here as they 
were fifty years ago, and any sportsman 
with a good guide can get a good set of 
antlers in two weeks' time with luck 
against him, and the best of it is you can 
do it all from a canoe. Camps are built 
small and neat, with good old fashioned 
open fireplaces that will make a man. 
feel cheerful after a hard day's hunt. 
The beds and furniture are arranged 
wholly with the one object in view — 
comfort. I guarantee the fare not to be 
equaled l)y any sporting camp in north- 
ern Maine. I shall be prepared to con- 
vey parties down Webster Brook Carry, 
on the p;ast Branch of the Penobscot, or 
across the Sourdnahunk Carry.

MOUNTAIN VIEW HOUSE. 

The Hotel on Raageley Lake. 

Rangeley Lake — Its Indian name is Oquossoc — is beyond dispute the most 
beautiful of all the lakes in the famous Rangeley region. In its clear waters the 
square-tailed, spotted trout has ever abounded. In both size and numbers salmon 
are increasing every year. A catch of a lo lbs. or 12 lbs. fish is not a rare occurrence. 

But the attractions of Rangeley Lake are not confined to its waters, charming 
coves dotted with lilies; unbroken forests, extending to the very waters' edge; 
mountains upon mountains, whose wooded slopes and craggy summits never tiie 
the eye, — these, too, afford delight and satisfaction to sportsman and tourist, even to 
those who never loved nature before. 

Overlooking a quiet cove near the outlet, flanked by cedars and firs and birches 
in all their natural beauty, fronting the lake and mountain, just across the cove — 
hence the name, Mountain View — ^this hotel is indeed "beautiful for situation." The 
site, alone, has made failure impossible and speaks loudly for the wisdom of the 
man who selected this charming spot on which to erect a hotel. This important 
position accounts largely for the ever increasing popularity of this ideal summer 
resort. 

The elevation is nearly 2000 feet above sea level. The air is dry and invigorat- 
ing. The pure breezes from fragrant mountain forests are made purer still, if pos- 
sible, as they sweep across the lake, by contact with the clear waters. Hay fever, 
in its worst form, yields at once to the gentle influence of the exuberant ozone. 

The house is indeed in the very midst of the best section for successful salmon 
and trout fishing in the early spring. Some of the best grounds on the lake for 
trout and salmon fishing are near, while 'tis but a little more than a mile across the 
"carry" to the Mooselookmeguntic, or "Big Lake." 

The water in the vicinity of the hotel is always calm, which makes boating and 
bathing especially safe and attractive for ladies and children. 

The purest water from a cold mountain spring, has been piped into the house, 
and guests are assured that no purer water can be found, even at the celebrated 
watering places. 

Boats, Guides, Teams, Outfits, etc., are furnished on short notice. Single and 
double teams always in readiness. The roads are fine, and riding or driving over 
the hills, along the lakes, and through the forests, is a pleasure not soon forgotten. 

Telephone and Post-ofiice are in the hotel. Two daily mails. Steamer to and 
from Rangeley touches at Mountain View twice daily. 

Terms, $2.00 to |2.5oby the day, $10 to $15 by the week. For further information, 
floor plans, etc., address,
